In this book, Margaret Atwood's dystopian novels-The Handmaid's
Tale, The MaddAddam trilogy, The Heart Goes Last and The
Testaments-are analyzed from the perspective provided by the
combined views of the construction of the posthuman subject in its
interactions with science and technology, and the Anthropocene as a
cultural field of enquiry. Posthumanist critical concerns try to
dismantle anthropocentric notions of the human and defend the need
for a closer relationship between humanity and the environment.
Supported by the exemplification of the generic characteristics of
the cli-fi genre, this book discusses the effects of climate
change, at the individual level, and as a collective threat that
can lead to a "world without us." Moreover, Margaret Atwood is
herself the constant object of extensive academic interest and
Posthuman theory is widely taught, researched and explored in
almost every intellectual field. My book is aimed at world-wide
readers, not only those interested in Margaret Atwood's oeuvre, but
also those interested in the debate between critical posthumanism
and transhumanism, together with the ethical implications of living
in the Anthropocene era regarding our daily lives and practices. It
will be especially attractive for academics: university teachers,
post-graduates, researchers, and college students in general.
